Tri-Nation Test Tournament 2020/21

Great bowling from our bowlers. Every bowler kept it tight and didn't allow them to get away. Now let's clean up the tail and get a big lead.
 
yikes what just happened, top order was lack luster, the lower order was there to the rescue....
 
It would've been difficult for the other batsmen to follow , if Smith & Gibbs hadn't batted for 20 overs of the new ball . The other batsmen reached 30 odd scores but weren't able to continue their innings ....

The heavy Indian top-order skittling to 71/4 is a rare sign for the opposition . The bowlers nicely used the pitch conditions . Still 60 runs we have in hand . The boys should rattle the tail as soon as possible with the new ball being just 10 overs old ....

The match comments were fluent to read , Nilay .... :thumbs

So like Kohli, Ashwin also falls right away after his 50. It was a bad reply from the Indian batsman as they could not take a lead but instead are trailing South Africa by 26 runs. Going forward this can end up being the difference in both these sides. The Proteas camp would be positive now and would look to put pressure on the Indian bowlers.

Consecutive wickets of Dhoni & Ganguly sealed the victory for us TBH . A win to start the tour is always a booster . Terrific effort from the bowling unit . Keshav Maharaj bowled his heart out . Just look at his 4th innings figures ...

Keshav Maharaj 13.0 8 4 1
 
Whoa! What a bowling performance from our team! Pollock showed why he is one of the GOAT all rounders! And we won it even with 2 spinners in the team. ...

And Keshav Maharaj, WTF![DOUBLEPOST=1600010666][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, @NilayShah60 you’ve rated the teams very well, seeing the run rates and the batting strike rates!

Just edit some spellings please,

Jacques Kallis
Sourav Ganguly
Herschelle Gibbs
